Skip Licence Requirements

Any skip placed on a public highway requires a licence from the council. brownSkips.com will arrange a skip licence for you, along with all necessary lighting on the skip to comply with regulations. You will not need a skip licence if you’re putting the skip entirely on private land.

Skip licences can take up to 7 working days to obtain and vary in cost depending upon local authority.

General Mixed Waste Skips:

This is our most popular skip that can be a mix of any material that we expect other than plasterboard that always needs to be kept separate.

Concrete & Rubble Skips:

Contents typically include clean bricks, concrete blocks, paving slabs, rubble and broken out concrete from foundations and pathways. If you select this skip type, contents should not include any other waste types including tarmac, soil and stones.

Chalk and Clay Skips:

Soil which is not recyclable which could typically include clay, chalk and sand, which will be sent to an inert landfill.

Garden Waste Skips:

Garden waste typically includes leaves, flowers, grass, weeds, tree bark and pruned branches. Contents should not include large volumes of soil, treated wood, turf or tree stumps (more than 60cm in diameter), along with any other waste types.

Plasterboard Skips:

Plasterboard skips should only include Gypsum panel boards. Contents should not include foil backed Gypsum boards, ceramics, insulation or timber along with other waste types.

Soil Skips:

These skips are typically filled with soil and stone from excavation arisings. Contents should not include clay, chalk, tarmac or turf along with any other waste types.

Wood Skips:

These skips are sold at a discounted rate due to the waste being segregated at source. Contents should not include treated timber, creosoted products and MDF or any other waste types.
